<div dir="ltr">...<br><p>The Swedish Standards Institute (SIS) approved the Open Document
Format (ODF) as a national standard, the ODF Alliance reported this
week.</p>
<p>"Sweden now joins Brazil, Croatia, Italy, South Korea, and South
Africa as countries whose national bodies have
formal approved this standard", the ODF advocacy organisation writes in
this week's newsletter.</p>
<p>SIS press officer Erika Messing called the approval "routine". SIS
was one of the national standardisation organisations that took part in
the procedure at ISO to approve ODF, she said. "ISO approved it in 2006
and now SIS has made it a national standard."</p>
<p>Messing adds that all standards are voluntary to use. European
standards are mandatory to implement as national standards but they are
still voluntary to use.</p><p>...<br></p><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><a href="http://truthhappens.redhatmagazine.com/2008/10/01/open-document-format-made-national-standard-in-sweden/" target="_blank">http://truthhappens.redhatmagazine.com/2008/10/01/open-document-format-made-national-standard-in-sweden/</a><br>
